Let's not forget that until this Stede has only had sex with Mary (that we know of) so now he's losing Ed not only the day after they first have sex but the day after he first has sex with anyone he's actually attracted to, not to mention in love with

Like, the man was flying so high and then lost it all (and had his lover call their night a mistake to his face) in under 24 hours, I think it's impossible to overstate how much he's really going through it at the moment

AND ON THE FIRST DAY OF PRIDE MONTH

[egophiliac]

Hello!! I'm in love with your artstyle (especially the way you did the signature spells??? I've been looking at them for a while adsgfdfsf, they look like movie posters tbh and that's fricking cool to me. anyway!! I'm a player on the NA server (btw, I've already seen spoilers of chap 7 due to tumblr/reddit/pinterest, so yeah it's not the most spoiled I've ever been so yea) and yeah. I'm getting through the story okay but do you have any advice for people trying to get through certain events with a more limited life schedule??? Also, what are some of the differences that you notice between the english (if you see a lot of it??) and Japanese versions of the game? sorry if this was a longer ask, i tried to be simple but i wanted to tell you that I loved your art and everything just spiraled AAAAAAH

thank you! ❤️❤️❤️ I've been surprised by how many people really like my posters -- it's kind of a weird style to do fanart in, I guess, but I'm glad other people think it's cool too! :D

(gonna answer out of order because the event stuff turned into a huge block of text, sorry!)

I've seen a few of the localizations, but I don't know a lot about the Eng version, so I can't speak too much about differences. (I do think "housewarden" has a better sound to it than "dorm leader" though...they need a fancy little word to match their fancy little outfits.) I did look up the unique magic/signature spells to see if they were able to somehow work in the glossing -- I'm not even sure how you would localize that without it being super weird, so I don't blame them, but I was a little sad anyway! :( in Japanese, they're all written as Japanese phrases with the English as ruby text, and sometimes they're given a little extra meaning. like -- this is where the episode 7 spoilers I'm tagging are) the words that Mal says are "Fae of Maleficence":

but the meaning of the Japanese is "Blessing", which is a nice little "ooooh" moment given the context of it!

there isn't always an extra meaning, sometimes it's just. super literal. but my other favorite is Jack's, where what he means is "✨howl that pierces the moonlit night✨", but what he actually yells is "UNLEASH BEAST" before turning into a giant dog. what a good boy.

as for event advice (under the cut, because this was already getting long)...

speaking as someone who is 100% F2P and therefore also tends to get kind of burnt by some of these events -- the #1 most important thing is to just...make peace with not getting everyone. :') I am a collector-type person, so it definitely gets grating when I can't have all the fancy PNGs my little packrat heart desires. generally though: never do random pulls, always be saving your keys and gems between events. (once a month you can buy a 10-set from Sam for a 50 gem discount, and logging in on a character's birthday will give you a 10-set for free, so make sure to do those!). when the event info starts coming out, pick one or two cards that you really want and work specifically towards those, focusing on grinding out the items and/or using your saved-up pulls on their specific banner. and in the end, accept that it might just not be meant to be, even if you hit the 100-pull pity SSR no I'm not still bitter over fairy gala Ortho why do you ask. if the event doesn't have any cards that you really want, take it as an opportunity to save for the next one!

hoard your star fragments (the things that restore AP) -- if you're going for a card that requires grinding event items to permanently unlock, and the item is one you get from lessons, you can use star fragments to bump your AP up to 30 at a time (10 is the limit that will restore over time, but 30 is the max you can have at once). that makes for a looong lesson loop, but I usually get about 50-60 items per 30 lessons, and I just let it run in the background while doing other stuff. (usually these items are what also unlock the event story, so I'll do a huge amount of lessons first thing and then have enough to get the whole story at once. 👍) it can get really grindy, but events go on for a while so it's not usually that bad if you space it out a bit, instead of waiting until the last minute to try and get those last 600 items (cough) (cough).

if it's one of the ones where you get the item from doing a rhythmic, you get the same amount of items no matter how well you do, even if you miss every note. so you can just...tap occasionally to restart it and get the same effect. if it's a battle one, you do have to actually win to get the item, but once you figure out the sweet spot of a team setup + highest battle level where you win every time, it becomes basically the same deal.

so...yeah, tl;dr you can get away with a lot just by setting things up to run in the background and paying just enough attention to tap through some of the menus. it does require a certain amount of time to just leave your phone while still sorta-kinda paying attention to it, so it might not work for everyone, but that's the best way I've found to get through most events!

Of all Ted Lasso’s third season’s sins, the one I will never forgive is introducing the idea of food restriction/restrictive eating. Look at RKJ or RoyJamie fics before season 3. Almost none of them mention food restriction. Then look at those after. The majority of them do.

And listen, this is not a criticism of fic writers. You do you. And it’s likely in line with real life sports bullshit. But it’s a trigger for me and it’s just such a fucking bummer to introduce that into a show that was supposed to be about love and kindness. And let’s be real. Ted Lasso is about a premiere league football coach with zero knowledge of football. Not like they were going for realism.

I am genuinely angry the game decided to kill off Yakou like that….

I mean, teeechnically he's still alive, but I catch what you're puttin' down. Major character death can lead to a lot of emotions, upset as to why that character was deserving of such a fate, whether within the confines of the story or as the author's intention itself. I imagine it's the same for a lot of people's first experiences with Danganronpa. We know deep down some of these characters we grow attached to will die, we just don't know when, how, or why. All deaths of the innocents can be viewed as undeserving, but its up to the player whether that anger is directed at the situation they were in or the author that put them there in the first place. Chapter 0 geared its players up for a lot of hurt, unafraid to flash its bloodthirst early. With a much smaller cast, the stakes are higher.

To the game's credit, the signs that Yakou could die were always there. Yakou got his own prequel novel meant to serve as a recontextualization for some of his actions in-game and provide an extension of his development. We got to see what the real Yakou was like before the Blank Week slaughter, and we didn't even know it. I read the prequel before starting the game, which really enhanced my personal experience as chapter 5's reveals hit me like a bucket of bricks. The foreshadowing of Yakou fretfully glancing at the letter from time to time, saying he has work to do, seemed so insignificant till his motive revealed itself. While he wished to live a life of secrecy as Amaterasu breathed down his neck, he never shied away to protect his detectives and entrust them with solving the city's mysteries. He knew one of those truths would be the tattered remains of his broken past.

You have every right to be angry, I can't deny that there's anger in me, too. But the intent of the author stayed present in the background. A reminder that no one is safe in a story like this, especially those who've stared into the hollow eyes of the grim reaper long before.

Realizing a lot of people probably aren't aware of a bit of dialogue I loved in Pentiment because Steam says the percentage of players who've managed to get the achievement for winning everybody else's money at Lansquenet is pretty small, so I need you all to know that if you do, Caspar responds "Wow, Master Andreas! You must be the best card player in the whole world!!" :0

(I can't remember the exact dialogue options in response, but I believe I picked one along the lines of "Well that's certainly not true, but thank you, Caspar.")

Let it be known that i FUCKING HATE GREEN HAIRED ZENINS. EUGH

[butchlifeguard]

how is octopath traveler!!! i remember being really interested when it was announced during a nintendo direct but i never followed up on it :0

SO GOOD ‼️ i think hyperfixation may be cooking my ass a little so you may want to watch a lets play before you get it. but i do genuinely think its really good. also another disclaimer that i really havent played rpgs except for some smrpg and deltarune (2018 was a great year for games ig)

i really like the mechanic of having to find out the enemies weaknesses to beat them more effectively. and the fact that everyone's abilities can be useful depending on who yr fighting. theres a bunch of mechanics specific to different characters and theyre all fun and useful imo

im playing on xbox. bc my brother pays for game pass. but i can easily see the controls working well on other platforms 👍👍 i think it would be worth the money if i had actually bought it because ive played 31ish hours and i have 11 chapters of the story done out of 32 + finale. which is to say you can play for a while
